Abstract
========

This document compiles the release notes for the Danube release of
OPNFV when using Fuel as a deployment tool with an AArch64 (only) target
node pool.

===============
Important Notes
===============

These notes provides release information for the use of Fuel as deployment
tool for the AArch64 Danube release of OPNFV.

The goal of the AArch64 Danube release and this Fuel-based deployment process
is to establish a lab ready platform accelerating further development
of the OPNFV on AArch64 infrastructure.

Due to early docker and nodejs support on AArch64, we will still use an
x86_64 Fuel Master to build and deploy an AArch64 target pool.

Although not currently supported, mixing x86_64 and AArch64 architectures
inside the target pool will be possible later.

Carefully follow the installation-instructions provided in *Reference 13*.

=======
Summary
=======

For AArch64 Danube, the typical use of Fuel as an OpenStack installer is
supplemented with OPNFV unique components such as:

- `OpenDaylight <http://www.opendaylight.org/software>`_
- `Open vSwitch for NFV <https://wiki.opnfv.org/ovsnfv>`_
- `BGPVPN <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/networking-bgpvpn>`_
- `Tacker <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Tacker>`_
- `Service Function Chaining <https://wiki.opnfv.org/service_function_chaining>`_
- `SDN distributed routing and VPN <https://wiki.opnfv.org/sdnvpn>`_

The following OPNFV plugins are not yet ported for AArch64:

- `NFV Hypervisors-KVM <https://wiki.opnfv.org/nfv-kvm>`_
- `VSPERF <https://wiki.opnfv.org/characterize_vswitch_performance_for_telco_nfv_use_cases>`_
- `Promise <https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/promise>`_
- `Parser <https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/parser>`_
- `Doctor <https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/doctor>`_

As well as OPNFV-unique configurations of the Hardware and Software stack.

This Danube artifact provides Fuel as the deployment stage tool in the
OPNFV CI pipeline including:

- Documentation built by Jenkins

  - overall OPNFV documentation

  - this document (release notes)

  - installation instructions

  - build-instructions

- The Danube Fuel installer image AArch64 (.iso) built by Jenkins

- Automated deployment of Danube with running on bare metal or a nested hypervisor environment (KVM)

- Automated validation of the Danube deployment
